Schoolyard has an area of 3564ft the section that is in the shape of a triangle is just for picnic table and what is the area of the section for the picnic tabl class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of the section for the picnic tables is [tex]1,188\ ft^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the schoolyard is equal to the area of a rectangle plus the area of a triangle

so

[tex]3,564=44*(2x-x)+\frac{1}{2}(2x-x)*44\\ \\3,564=44x+22x\\\\3,564= 66x\\ \\x=54\ ft[/tex]

The area of the triangle is equal to

[tex]22x=22*54=1,188\ ft^{2}[/tex]
